Conductivity measurements on a smectic liquid crystal with terminal diol-groups are reported. The average conductivity in the liquid crystalline state exceeds the conductivity of the isotropic melt by a factor of 2. This strongly unusual behaviour supports the assumption of fast protonic conductivity in smectic diols, which is favoured in the ordered liquid crystalline state and less efficient in the disordered isotropic state.
